As warehouses evolve into data-driven operational hubs, vulnerabilities such as data manipulation, insider threats, and fraudulent activities pose significant risks to financial accountability and system integrity. To address these challenges, this research proposes a security-centric WMS framework that integrates blockchain-based immutable logging, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled tracking, and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven anomaly detection. The methodology follows a hybrid iterative\u2013incremental development approach, supported by real-world deployment of a prototype WMS implemented using a scalable microservices architecture. Over a five-year operational period, the system processed more than 10 million transactions with no recorded successful cybersecurity incidents leading to data breaches, operational compromise, or unauthorized system access, while achieving improvements in reconciliation accuracy, operational efficiency, and fraud detection capabilities. Results demonstrate reductions in manual reconciliation efforts, mispricing incidents, and operational losses, while maintaining high system availability and low latency. In addition, the reported 18\u201322% improvement associated with AI-assisted anomaly detection is presented as a simulation-based projection rather than a production-validated measurement. The findings indicate that combining secure software engineering practices with automation, auditability, and advanced analytics can significantly enhance transparency and resilience in warehouse operations. The study concludes that integrating decentralized and intelligent technologies provides a viable pathway toward secure, privacy-preserving, and abuse-resistant warehouse ecosystems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computers15060348","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,29]],"date-time":"2026-05-29T17:36:18Z","timestamp":1780076178000},"page":"348","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Security-Centric Warehouse Management Framework for Mitigating Product Abuse and Cybersecurity Risks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5990-9065","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alparslan","family":"Sari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Delaware, Newark, DE 19716, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1723-5741","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ismail","family":"Butun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Software Engineering, Sakarya University, Serdivan 54050, T\u00fcrkiye"},{"name":"Research, Development and Application Center (SARGEM), Sakarya University, Esentepe Campus, Serdivan 54050, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Sari, A., and Butun, I.
